Default Re: Official Xbox 360 LOGO

Yeah, the name sounds clunky because even though it's short, it has a lot of syllables... X-BOX-THREE-SIX-TY. I guess you could argue that it's the same as NIN-TEN-DO-GAME-CUBE, but you can leave out the Nintendo, or hell, even the game. Calling a system "360" seems weird and unnatural. Sony got it right by having the P-S-2 as something quick and easy to say, and "cube" works fine for Nintendo.

I really think the name is weird... I can understand why they kept the XBox in the name, for the same reason Sony kept the Playstation and Nintendo kept the Gameboy name (although they left it out for the DS... for the "third pillar" i guess), but it just sounds really cluttered. The logo as well.
